Here's that pixane angst i was talkin bout

The Return of the Ice Emperor.

(Crystalized rewritten (will it be a series? Who knows))

Ship: Pixane

(A/n: i have this hc that they have "blood", like the ones in DBH? Yeah, i just call it oil in this story, hope that clears things up :p

Also he/it zane real)

Warning: semi-horror themes? If you get queasy easily, i don't recommend reading, major character death

________

"Zane!"

She yelled, looking for him.

Her heart drops at the sight of her lover's body under the rubble. Worry flooded her mind. "Zane..? Zane!" She rushed to his side.

As she got closer, she could see the damage. He was changing rapidly, and it looks as if his cloaking device was damaged.

But something felt off, and just before she could even touch him, a force came from under where he laid unconscious and knocked her back. A spine-chilling cold swept through the streets, dust clouding her sights as two, light blue, glowing eyes set their sights on her.

Though she was an android, she could feel the cold in her circuits. A cold more powerful than any ice, or atleast what she has experienced. The dust eventually faded away, and all she could see was..

A tall figure, standing above her. A glare that could cause the person with the warmest heart, to freeze. Heavy footsteps rang throughout the streets, people seem to be more terrified than before. And the being seems to quite enjoy this.

"Who are you?! What have you done with Zane?!" She pleads, hiding her fear. Pixal expected it to say something, anything. But it simply stared. By now she had realized that everything within a five mile radius had either been frozen, or was covered in ice. "Answer me!" She bravely took a step forward.

The being did not react, instead, it slowly lifted it's hand, and formed what looked to be a staff of some sort. A spear, perhaps? She glances back at the figure when she recognizes those eyes. She felt her 'heart' drop into her circuits. No, no that can't be right? Surely she must be mistaken?

It took a step forward, as she notes how ice forms at it's heel. She now recognizes it. No— him.

It's him. But.. what happened? She doesn't recall any events that would lead to this, or even actually ever seeing it— him.. like this. But before she could finish her train if thought, and ice cold blade slices through her hand like butter.

Thankfully, it didn't dismember her. Although, the cut was deep enough that even she wasn'tsure if it could be fully, and properly fixed. A warning. She looks at her hand, in shock. "What—" she is once again cut off by the blade. Only this time, the figure attempted to decapitat her, had she not moved. "What is with you?!" She scolded, even though she knew nothing would get through him.

Suddenly she feels liquid running down her hand. Oil? Oil? Oh. Where did it come from? Of course she knew it was from her hand, but she figured that her unlimited power supply would be able to let her stand her ground for atleast a few more hours.

But this is bad. Very bad. She needs to get out quick, fighting will only worsen the problem. She takes a few of her shurikens and throws them towards him. While she wasn't actually attempting to hit him, one of the shurikens sliced through his arm. A deep cut for sure, deeper than hers.

But what happened next was unexpected.

Ice grew around the 'wound', slowly but surely filling it in. He moved his hand freely, as if the damage wasn't there in the first place. What he hadn't noticed, though, was the fact that was a distraction. Within seconds smoke bombs filled the air and she was able to get away scot-free.

Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to stop the ice emperor. He lifted his arm, hand making some sort of motion. Suddenly, the bystanders were being covered in ice, their free will being stripped from them by the second. She couldn't just let this slide, but she can't sustain any more damage. She needs to get to borg tower.

Another blade slices through her. Her leg this time. And then another. And another. To the point where her legs was completely rendered useless. She falls to the ground, outside of borg tower. She looks back at him— no, them. She watches as an army of ice-warriors flood the streets.

"Cyrus! Cyrus, can you hear me?" She yells into her transmitter. No response. "Cyrus I need back-up! Cyrus!" She calls for help.

"DAD!" She screams. But still, no response. A liquid leaks from her face, is she crying..? Or has she just sustained too much damage? The army stops, and the tall figure approaches her. He looms over her.

Maybe he can still save him. She has enough power in her systems to give him a shock, hopefully that'll reboot him.

It raises it's spear. "You have defied the Ice Emperor." He said, voice deep. He leans in closer, his spear poking her power module, cracking the glass protecting it. "For this, you shall be subjected to—" he gets cut off, as a shock that would rival the Master of Lightning's powers ran across his body.

She doesn't have the energy to scream, it's taken her so much already to just keep going, but this has to work. It just has to. He goes limp for a second, before promptly resetting back to his original form.

She shuts down.

It takes him a while to collect himself, to process what really happened. He stares at her limp body in his arms. "...Pixal?" He finally speaks up. A crowd of nindroids suddenly burst through the door, while Cyrus Borg himself rolled down the slant.

The people he froze melted down, they were being sent to hospitals. He did that.

"Pixal!" He hears a yell, "Pixal–!" The voice cuts itself off at the sight of his limp daughter. "No.. no no, I-I can still fix this." Zane looks up, his eyes widening as he fully realized what he had done.

He hadn't noticed it much before, but her entire being was filled with cuts. Light blue liquid leaking, rivalling that of their power modules.

"...What have you done."

"..i'm sorry?"

"What have I done?" He cries, although with no hint of malice in his voice.

"No.. no I promise I didn't mean it— I.. please you have to understand– ...wait, what?" He said, struggling to find the words. "Zane.. I don't blame you." He says, Zane raising an eyebrow.

"She called for me. I did not respond. None of this would've happened if I had just.."

A siren swept the streets, alerting people that the crystal army was coming. There was no time. Zane acted quick, moving to check her 'heart'.

He couldn't believe his eyes. It was.. dim? How? No, no that can't be right. It was supposed to have unlimited power, it was supposed to–

He felt her hand squeeze his. She's.. she's still here! "We need to move. I can get her fixed up, you go with the others." Cyrus said, seeing the state of her and ordering one of the nindroids to carry her.

"Affirmative." Zane puts on his hood, stealing one last glance at Pixal before leaving.

He could still feel the icy cold chill on his back, reminding him of what he did. He looks down, analysing his hands. Light blue liquid.

His form flickers back and forth from him and the Ice Emperor. He remembers his rule over the neverrealm, ice covering every inch of land. He remembers the people he's hurt along the way, and how he'll never atone for what he's done. The lives he took will forever haunt him.

He runs and slides across the city, his ice following him wherever he goes. It's cold. He stops for a moment, contemplating whether or not to get in contact with his other teammates. He tries to reach his headpiece when he feels a scar on his cheek. Pixal must've done it, not that he could blame her.

He too, is leaking light blue liquid. His form flickers again.

A reminder that, as long as he lives..

The Ice emperor would never truly be gone.

Hello I saw your post about the headcanons wanted to ask you about some of the ones you may have for Pixal

WAHHAA omg ok. lets think

a lot of my hcs are like wildly different to canon . a good example of this is that i consider zane and pixal to have a sibling relationship with zane being more or less adopted by borg after s4

pixal is bigender! and uses she/he/they pronouns :] possibly realised this after becoming sam x and ppl calling them using he/him .. and she liked it haha.. and hes lesbian and dating nya. real

pixal wears those awful gamer tshirts when shes not wearing her sam x gear. eat sleep game repeat u know the ones

they have a very different view on being a robot to zane.. in my mind zane struggles with the line between human and nindroid due to. a lot of trauma whereas pixal is more accepting of it. he had the thing about … being a Real Person but that was more of an issue of Purpose and Free Will than humanity to me

she is. like crazy tall. idk how tall exactly but hes the tallest of all the ninja BY FAR. the reason for this is zane used to be shorter like normal height same as the other ninja. maybe shorter. after he got rebuild from the nindroid army blueprints he got taller. and then when pixal rebuilt herself she made herself even taller. for that sibling rivalry. and also intimidation for being sam x lolol.. which is part of why nobody recognised them :]

#SORRY THIS IS KINDA LATE i immediately went to sleep aftwr posting that #i didnt actually wxpect ppl to ask me stuff HAHA .. maybe ppl r more talkative on here now #i hope this is enough hcs also… i think i have more abt them but its hard to remeber lolol #farts #ninjago

Zane is a heavy, immovable tank of a lanky, tall robot nindroid young man. the non-mechanic ninja are sometimes a little afraid to ask if he's increasing in weight because (1) it's rude and (2) then what are they adding to his body to make it that heavy because as far as they can tell he looks the same.

this definitely isn't a new idea. ref: there's some art somewhere in which Cole, w/ his elemental strength powers, is the only one who can pick him up since he's ~400 lbs, @min-play 's comic where a bookshelf falls on him but he's fine, and just also the fact that he's METAL and machinery is usually HEAVY.

this post will have hcs and then a little snippet story to go along with each one.

maybe he isn't as heavy now in his titanium form as he was when they met him. love to dr. julien but my boy used a lot of steampunk-esque internals and those things weigh a ton.

The mirror isn't making Kai's bruise look any better now that he's out of the shower, so he accepts the ice pack that Cole throws at him from the bathroom door. Zane had accidentally hit him for real in sparring and, now Kai hasn't taken as many hits as the others, but he's pretty sure they're not supposed to hurt that bad. The guy's hand felt just like if someone had thrown a rock at his head- well, his right cheek. Zane must've gotten some kind of blessing from the First Master to become that swole. Looks can be decieving, and somehow this applies to the tallest and most string-bean like ninja of their group. Ninjas in training. Swole ninja in training, in Zane's case.

"Kai?" the door creaks and white socked feet politely sit themselves just outside the bathroom doorway.

Well, he can't really blame the guy for being fit - is kind of what they're here for. Kai will just have to get better at dodging.

he was probably hard to find parts for back then, too. can you imagine Nya and Jay at the outdoor market bargaining to get some gears and glaring at anyone who tries to buy them first because their dear boy needs these specific parts but they can't just tell the shopkeeper, "no, but you don't understand, we need these specific ones because they're for our friend who literally requires them for his body to function properly. he's a robot- a nindroid." they've probably been tempted to, though, with all the times they've had things snatched from right under their noses. Jay's real bad at it though so they just end up being friendly with a parts seller while Nya's making deals left and right.

all of ^^ is sans pixal because after season 3 (during s3 they were actively running from anything robotic so that's out too) they definitely have Borg machine all the parts they need and probably get them at a low price w/o markup so they don't need to scavenge like they did in seasons 1 and 2.

The sun's beating down, but it's a dry heat and the linens Nya and Jay are wearing aren't particularly heavy. They're still sweaty and gross and tired, but that's mostly because they've been tromping around this shanty conglomerate that the sign dubbs a "Mechanics' Market."

There are poles with multicolored, holey tarps pulled between them that create a mosaic of visuals on the dirt they stand on. Each vendor's stall is a sharp contrast to their neighbor's, but oddly enough they all smell the same. The space between stalls is pretty narrow and people bump into each other whenever a fourth person wants to span the narrow walkway. Most of them are selling used parts, then there are some ciunterfiet pieces from Borg Industries, a startup in Ninjago city with a label that looks smug and self-important. Still, every new sight is sickeningly predictable: more weaved baskets and cardboard boxes overflowing with metal and rubber, but the day's covered in sepia with the conrast and saturation cranked to high, so Nya's halfway to a pretty bad headache already.

Jay's used to these things, having grown up with Ed and Edna. He's walking back to the stall Nya's standing in front of after haggling with another nearby vendor.

... the continued here on Tumblr and Ao3 bc otherwise this post would be loooong

he's definitely used as a weight for Cole's workouts and in a glacier world i can imagine Zane having zero complaints with this.

It's Cole's turn to be incredibly oblivious when Zane offers to let Cole pick him up for weightlifting. Read on Tumblr or Ao3

also that'd be great strategy for a mission. can you imagine them being like, "oh no we need to make this thing collapse in a very specific place but we can't make noise or anything because it'd alert people." (this situation comes up in kids' action shows a lot more than you might think) and Lloyd just looks over at his strategist buddy and is like, "zane my boy what if we tie a chain around you and you just stand on the dang thing."

Lloyd is new to leading (it's season 3), Zane is just trying to get the parts they need for their vehicles, and in the middle of a mission they have to think creatively to avoid getting crushed. Here on Tumblr and Ao3

the distribution of weight is probably superb, though, because dr. julien is best tech dad. he's probably a lot like those elephants that have soft pands on their feet to sneak around

it would make sense in canon, too, since he doesn't have a human body for the elemental powers to jack up, so his ridiculous weight would allow him to have that Ninja Strength.

after he becomes titanium, he's lighter and it takes some getting used to. but overall it's pretty good because he doesn't have to be as careful as he used to be.

Zane's picking his way through a forest, keeping eyes and ears out for an escaped Kryptarium prisoner. The leaves barely rustle even as he places his feet atop them.

It's nice, being lighter. He doesn't need to calculate his jumping as carefully and now he can now throw himself on the ground, his bed, and on top of the others. Less worrying about if he'll accidentally crush someone or something.

Before, when he was on his own, he didn't really notice anything amiss. He wasn't around other people enough to have accidentally fallen on someone. As for dalling on the ground, well he just assumed other people made indents when they tripped and fell.

After he found out he was- well, is a robot. He started to connect the dots. A few broken floorboards later, Nya's industrial scale told all. Now that he weighs more or less that of someone his height and age, it's a bit of a relief.

Literally, it's a weight off his shoulders.

the others probably really enjoy it, too, since he can fully relax when he lays his head down on one of them, and he can fall asleep ontop of someone, too. he has to do less constant work to take the weight off them.

he's the most relieved about elevators, though. he used to have to wait for everyone to go up before he got on. either that or stairs. what i'm saying is please just imagine Zane sitting beneath the little elevator arrow button in the middle and patiently waiting to go up by himself because if he doesn't then he might cause the cable to break.

it was a very big deal when he finally got to go in an elevator with everyone.

Basic backstories, setup and just few little things about Werewolf Cole Au. A synopsis if you will?

There's no elemental powers, Overlord, Zane isn't a nindroid, etc. Just basically a regular world with small real myths such as Werewolves.

Werewolf wolf forms aren't humanoid, but really are just big 6ft tall wolves.

Kai and Nya do live in a house near the woods and their parents were never kidnapped so they were raised by them. However they both are in a line of work that has them not home most of the time.

Kai & Nya found Lloyd on the streets being bullied from other kids. Kai immediately couldn't stand it and stepped in. When asked where Lloyd lived so they could take him, Lloyd said he didn't have one.

After a long video call later, and a quick visit by Maya, Lloyd was able to be adopted into their family and enroll in school under the name Lloyd Smith.

Kai is 20, Nya is 18, Lloyd is 14, Cole is 21, Jay is 18, Zane is 23, Pixal is 22, Skylor is 21. Excluding Cole till later, they're just a big friend group.

Kai is trying to find a good College to get into while working at Skylor and her Mother's small Noodle Shop. There is no Chen because I said so.

Skylor and Kai used to date in Highschool, but found to be better friends instead and now are just close friends.

Jay & Nya are in highschool Senior Year, and are together.

Zane & Pixal was friends with them in highschool, but now are in College together. Also a couple, and they love to visit when they can and video chat.

Lloyd is in Middle School. He's managed to make few friends there but his best friends are his adopted siblings, their friends, and his adopted cat, Meowthra.

Cole was childhood friends with Jay back in another town until one day him, his father and mother had to suddenly move out without a word to anyone. So to Jay, his childhood friend just one day disappeared.

There are Werewolf Hunters after them.

Cole gets his wolf side from Lily.

Lily doesn't pass away when he was younger, but is sick. Lou moves them to the Town where the gang are, hearing about how it's nice and close to some woods, good clean air, and he did some digging and saw nothing about Hunters being in the town because the Forest and its wildlife are supposed to be protected.

Cole is trying to figure out what to do for his mother and always goes out to the woods at night to let himself be a wolf, especially because he doesn't have complete control of his transformation like Lily.

Unfortunately Hunters did follow them.

The Hunters one day went to eat at the Noodle Shop and talked about going hunting in the Woods. Kai overheard, and he knows the Woods are not to be hunted in. Kai tried leaving a voicemail to Skylor but his phone unfortunately died mid message. He wasn't sneaky enough about it and the Hunters did notice.

At the end of his shift, locking up the Noodle Shop, Kai is jumped by the Hunters so they don't have a goody goody try and ruin their hunt.

Kai managed to get away and did run off into the woods, hoping to lead them off his tail, not find their way to his house, while also hoping to manage to get home through the woods.

Kai of course loses the Hunters, but unfortunately his ankle did get sprained pretty bad and he stops to sit against a tree once he's sure he's safe.

That's when Cole finds him after smelling some of his blood.

Kai never heard of any reports of wolves in the woods, especially none that are 6ft tall. So understandably, Kai freezes up in fear while also knowing he wouldn't get anywhere if he tried.

Cole approaches, luckily just have hunted something himself so Kai's blood doesn't affect his hunter instincts too much.

Cole slowly approaches Kai before licking his wounds. He turns Kai around and grabs him by the back of his jacket, carrying him off to his little den he set up for when he's out in the woods.

Kai freaks out and is about to yell before he hears the distant sound of a Jeep driving through the woods which leads him to shut up in fear its the hunters.

This also has Cole rush to the den.

The den is set up with a large bedroll, campfire and few other necessities because Cole goes to it when he's a human as well. It surprises Kai, but he doesn't complain when the big wolf sets him down and carries over a first aid kit.

Even after patching himself up, Kai still can't get up, but it seems the Wolf in front of him basically saved him and maybe has an owner. Plus, out of fear of running into the hunters, he decides okay he'll stay for the night.

Cole does notice Kai starts shivering when trying to sleep, so he goes over to offer some warmth. Kai while uneasy with a big wolf next to him, accepts it, not wanting to risk going against it and it is nice.

This leads to both of them falling asleep and Cole completely forgetting he's going to change back in the morning.

So Kai wakes up being hugged by this large shirtless man. His screaming wakes Cole up, leading him to screaming as well as the scramble to get apart.

The den is surprisingly close to Kai's house, so as Nya is about to head out on her bike to find out why Kai didn't come home last night, she hears him screaming in the woods.

After the screaming stops, Kai and Cole stare at each other. Kai in complete bewilderment, glancing around for that wolf from last night unaware it was Cole. Cole meanwhile is frozen, slapping himself mentally for some reason helping this random stranger as a wolf and not thinking about him turning back in the morning.

Nya calls out for Kai though, drawing his attention away from Cole and allowing him a moment to slip away.

Kai after realizing he was left alone, decides to get up, limping out of the den to call out to Nya.

Kai is brought home and his wounds are more properly treated. A call to Skylor to look out for the guys that jumped Kai and to let her know what's up.

Kai tells the story about the Wolf. Lloyd gets excited wanting to find a big nice Wolf himself, but Nya quickly dismisses it to it most likely just being a dream passing out in the woods. Hoping to delude Lloyd from going and searching the woods for said Wolf, while also not believing it herself.

Kai is basically forced to stay home till they know the Hunters aren't going to go after him again, and to heal up his ankle.

Kai keeps thinking about that night while during his little house arrest, and even dreams of the man he woke up next to, turning into the 6ft Wolf that helped him.

One night when he's okay to walk again and Nya is at Jay's house with Lloyd to help him study, and for a little sleepover, Kai sneaks out back to the woods, finding the den again and hopes to come across the Wolf again.

Cole wanders in as a wolf and freezes noticing Kai waiting for him. He was no different from Kai, constantly thinking about the other in numerous ways since their encounter.

Cole unfortunately wasn't so prepared for another meeting and turns to run away, but finds himself freezing when Kai cries out "Wait!"

Kai slowly approaches Cole.

"You can understand me, can't you?" Cole looks Kai in the eyes and nods to Kai's slight surprise.

"Are you that guy I woke up next to?" Cole whines in response, in fear of Kai knowing.

"It's okay! I... well its little weird to think about, but... wow I was actually right? Haha, I don't know how to feel about this, but I won't go ratting you out don't worry!" Cole's ears perk up in surprise.

That's when the familiar sound of a Jeep reaches both their ears. Smelling the air, Cole whines, recognizing the smell of Hunters, moving to turn and run again, but Kai stops him again.

Kai offers and brings Cole back to his house to help hide him. Cole feels like he should reject, and not trust so easily, but he finds himself following Kai easily.

That's when Kai walks in with Cole, ducking through the back door and see Nya and Lloyd who just got home because the sleep over got cancelled.

After a lot of panic and explaining later, Nya agrees to help out Cole, wanting more explaining from him if Kai saying him turning into a human is true.

Lloyd is very excited to see such a big wolf and starts talking to Cole a lot. It surprises Cole, but he also finds it enjoyable to see a kid so excited to actually see him like this after growing up and being told by Lou he should never show his secret to anyone.

Lloyd does bring Meowthra to Cole, and while Kai and Nya were expecting the usual Cat vs Dog or this case, Wolf, Meowthra surprisingly really likes Cole and they get along fine.

Lloyd helps Kai give food to Cole once they hear the wolf's tummy growl.

The next morning, Cole wakes up in the living room as human and he does explain what he is. Pleading for the trio of siblings to not say anything, especially after he smelled Hunters and learned they're the ones who hurt Kai. They of course agree to the promise.

This starts the cycle of Cole coming over some nights as a Wolf and staying the night.

Cole is excited to talk to people again after being on the run and being hidden for so long and a nice distraction from worrying about his mother.

Kai finds himself wanting to spend more and more time with Cole until he realizes he's actually falling in love with a werewolf.

Overtime the rest of the friend group also accidentally learn about Cole but agree to keep the secret. Jay especially being really happy to see his childhood friend again and getting an explanation why he disappeared so long ago.

Kai find himself talking a lot about Cole to his siblings and Skylor. Cole does the same to Jay about Kai.

Of course they do confess at some point. Or basically forced to by everyone.

Cole keeps all this a secret from Lou because his father has grown to always have a constant worry of his son and wife being hurt because their Wolf sides. He talks to Lily about everyone though when he thinks she's asleep, but she does hear it all and is happy to hear her son is happy. She doesn't tell Lou until Cole is ready.

Cole is a clingly bf when him and Kai are together, being very touch starved from only having his mom & dad for so long. Kai loves attention, so it works out perfectly.

Cole as a wolf will sometimes just pick up Kai to bring him t lay down with and enjoy cuddles. When human, he loves to come up from behind for a hug.

Kai brought Cole to work one day and Cole fell in love with the food there ofc.

When Cole first ate cake around the others, he was a wolf and they did immediately get scared with mindset of chocolate bad for dogs. Morning came and Cole reassured he was fine and is still okay to eat anything he can as a human, as a wolf.

Cole does still struggle with gaining control of his transformation but that mainly affects to him turning into a wolf every night. Lily can turn into a wolf anytime she wants.

However sometimes Cole finds himself losing to his wolf instincts and needs to hunt or gets hostile.

First time Cole loses himself as a wolf he is hostile, but Kai slowly approaches him, treating it like he would for Lloyd when he has panic attacks, and brings Cole out of it. Mostly succeeding to get close because Cole smells his own scent on Kai.

They all do try and pitch in to find a way to help Lily, and stop the Hunters.

I'm in a real Ninjago mood so here's some height headcannons:

Heights-

Cole- 6'5 boy is tall like a mountain

Pixal- 6'6 she's currently the designated 'get stuff from high shelf person'

Zane- 6'4 Their built to be tall but not too tall that it was strange

Kai and Nya- they are currently tied at 6'2 as they have a VERY serious debate over who's taller. (Pixal and Zane know that Nya is taller by 5mm but they won't tell them)

Lloyd- 5'11 They havn't stopped growing yet so heres hoping that this isn't the tallest they'll get (luckily because of their Oni blood they'll get a huge growth spurt eventually)

Jay- 5'9 current short boy and is teased relentlessly for it.

How May I Serve You?

Note: So, let me explain! This is taking place in the time between seasons 7 & 8 that like year or whatever. Zane has been doing missions and stuff alone, for a while, and Pixal (because she has been Samurai X) has been popping in and out of his system. Zane is just stressed, worried, and depressed for a large list of reasons and Pixal (were she may be a bit out character) {I write them normally a bit out character regardless} is trying to make him a little relaxed. There is a thing at the end that takes place in like modern show time, got it, good! Anyway, let’s go!

@parachutingkitten

It was now turning to dusk; the titanium ninja had arrived at an abandoned building far away from the likes of Ninjago City. Dawning his semi-new human skin, as his brothers liked to call it, he approached the broken cobblestone path leading to the broken wooden doors of the building. A crumbling building, covered in dead plants, large openings in different areas, and graffiti-stained bricks.

He sighed looking upon the building, “what a shame.” He heard a slight giggle, a feminine giggle, letting eyes fall to the path to the entrance.

She stood there, sliver hair, pure white skins, purple colored assistance uniform, with the one sleeve and half skirt. With a blue film covering her body, with an almost static texture. Marking that she was really there with him, only a hologram. She smirked, bowing, her right arm place behind her back and her left against her chest, her hand over her heart.

“How may I serve you,” she questioned, looking at him through her lashes, “Zane.”

He rolled his eyes, watching her stand up straight, still smirking, “you know that is not necessary, Pixal,” he remarked, his tone one of both annoyance and tiredness, “don’t say it again.”

“I am one theatrics,” she joked, placing her hands behind her back, “and I won’t if it pleases you.”

Zane exhaled, turned leaving walking into the abandoned street, “where are you going,” Pixal exclaimed.

“Away from you,” he said loud enough were his voice bounced off the old buildings.

She let out a loud laugh, following him while matching his quick pace, “that's not a good idea.”

“and why not?!”

Pixal appeared in front of him and unbelieve close at that, making the tall man step back quickly as to not walk through her. He would never walk through her.

“You can’t get rid of me for one,” she stated, “as if you wanted to.”

Zane folded his arms to his chest, “plus you are meeting Kai in that broken-down building,” Pixal added.

Zane sighed walking toward that building, entering the time, with his hologram paramour following close behind him, even looking around as he stood against one of the partial walls with closed eyes, trying to rest.

He could feel her when she settled beside him, or the sensation of her there. She had not actually been beside him in a long while. Although the hologram stuff wasn’t normal, Pixal would do it every once a while, when he truly wanted to talk to someone. She would do it late at night as he sat in bed. Let him vent to the wall and cry against himself as she, either, sat in the window seat or at the end of his bed.

Or that one time where he had run out of the monastery on a whim and made to a cliff, where he just screamed. He did it three times that night. The first: when he got there. The second: Pixal had come out in that hologram form and let him scream at her for a few minutes. He also allowed her to scream. The third was before he left, collapsing to the ground and crying when Pixal hid back into his system.

Although since the events with Acronix and Krux when Zane was left incapacitated and Pixal had disappeared, once she reappeared in Bounty systems, with little explanation, she bounced between the ship's systems and Zane’s. It wasn't until recently she used the hologram form, that she had control of. She would pop up randomly when Zane alone, scared at best and confusing him at worst, because it was after times she had disappeared for a good minute, again with no explanation.

At this point, she was becoming an antagonistic force to Zane then a loving one.

Zane adored the woman and wouldn’t let her go. He respected her, and wish for her to really be there, but there was a sense of secrecy with her now. Mixed with his depression, stress level with the trying to find his Sensei that was lost, and dealing with normal Ninjago shenanigans. A part of him wasn’t pleased with Pixal’s playfulness and it showed.

He felt her hand try to touch his, making him jerk his hand away, “right, no touching,” Pixal muttered, “I’m sorry.”

His only rule with the hologram: no touching. It would reinforce that she wasn’t there, and dispute Pixal wanted to respect his wishes she often forgot about the rule, “the love language of touch,” Pixal remarked with a sighed, “makes something like no touching hard to remember.”

That made his heartbreak more than was ready broken, he would get anything just to touch her, “I know,” Zane sighed.

“That’s new,” she declared, making he look over at her in confusion, “the ring.”

He lifted his left hand to his eye level, leaning back against the brick, “fairly.” he whispered.

A thin black ring place on his left ring finger, only black given his titanium shell, he normally wore, “a ring on the left hand's ring finger, symbolizes marriage,” Pixal mused, “who have you married recently?”

There was ever the hit of jealousy in her voice, it made Zane want to wait on answering, to see if she would become anymore jealous.

“You,” Zane said with a chuckle and a smile, “it is supposed to symbolize my union to you. I saw this as a simple way to symbolize what is between us.”

“We do act like a married union,” Pixal alleged, “don’t we?”

Zane nodded, smiling as he heard her giggle, “I wish you were here,” he expressed, “I yarn for you to be beside me again.”

“As do I,” Pixal cooed softy, watching Zane squat down, his hands covering his face.

“It makes me livid that I didn’t try harder to get you out of my head, sooner.”

“You were busy, it is understandable.”

“And now you keep disappearing for days,” Zane cried, clenching his hands to his chest, “I understand if he other could need your assistance, but the fact that you won’t tell me where you are going, makes me nervous.”

Pixal didn't say anything, “then you come back to me, again with no explanation, almost like nothing happened!”

She once again said nothing as he stood facing her, “tell me where you’re going, when you leave my systems,” Zane insisted, “I know you are going to the Bounty's systems because I have checked, multiple times.”

“I can’t,” she whimpered.

“You can’t or you won’t,” he bellowed.

She said nothing, turning her head away from him

“Tell me where you go,” he demanded in a scream, before grabbing her shoulders.

His eyes widened as his hands fazed through her, right, she’s not really here. She was regaled to like a figment of his imagination, almost as if she weren’t real, to begin with. He stared at her hologamic form tears rolling down his face, staring at her melancholy face on the verge of tears.

Zane had not time to apologize or even speak before she disappeared, as she faded away he heard footsteps approach, “Zane,” Kai said, entering the distressed building, “I heard screaming, you okay.”

“Yeah,” he sighed, whipping his tears before turning to his brother, “I’m fine.”

It had a few good years since that night of the argument that was never resolved. Pixal, very much real, exited the monastery in need of fresh air and a nice view of Zane training, alone. She had thought about that argument a lot recently, for whatever reason, Zane had too. Maybe that’s why his training was slightly more violent.

Pixal descended the small steps to the courtyard as Zane shot ice at one of the training dummies, “that’s a bit violent,” she remarked.

Zane exhaled a breath, “why so violent to the equipment,” Pixal mused.

“I’m thinking,” he replied, not looking at her directly.

“You think most times,” she uttered, “what makes this so different?”

He didn’t want to say it, mostly because he didn’t know how to bring it up. That argument, unresolved in the moment, was irrelevant now. Pixal was here, with him, why bring up that fight. Just open a small wound.

Pixal turned away with her hands behind her back, “I see you wish not to talk,” she assumed, not offended by his coldness, “I will leave you alone.”

Zane knew she wasn’t offended, but that didn’t him feel better about his actions. He straightened himself up, watching her reach the porch, “say it again,” he declared, making her straighten her back and clench her forearms, “just this once.”

It got exactly five-second: Pixal turned on her heels, looking at Zane, her husband, with a smirk. She moved her left arm from her back to her chest, her hand over her heart, he could see her wedding band on her slim finger as it shinned in the sun. She bowed before looking at him through her lashes, before breaking the routine and standing up straight while sticking her hand out to him with an open hand.

“How may I serve you,” she pondered, “Zane~”

If you could take creative control of ninjago what would you change

Christ...

WELL

Actually no idk where to start with this there’s so much anon there’S SO M U C H I guess I’ll do a run of MINIMAL changes tho (for as long as I can)

I don’t think I have to change much in the first two seasons, thankfully, since the writers actually sat down to think about what they were writing at the time but g o d did it go to hell afterwards

Season 3 - This Zane focused season is going to be ZANE FOCUSED DAMN IT. We’re focusing on his loss over his Father, having salt rubbed in the wound by having his father’s work turned into an evil army, and being faced with the fact he’s obsolete compared to it all. He keeps trying to stack up numbers to win, recalculate things, and it’s why his line at the ending ACTUALLY has impact. The thing that sets him apart from the nindroids, his ability to love, is what allows him to defeat the Overlord.

Jay, Cole and Nya love triangle is DESTROYED. Pixal, Zane and Cole is the new love triangle and later OT3

Season 4 - The explanation for the other EMs being around is far less stupid. Garmadon establishes that oh yeah all of your parents had elemental powers and even talks about a few of them because holy SHIT. Cole mentions his mom because he should have done that a g e s ago. Is this supposed to be a Kai season doesn’t feel like it. Open the season with better explanations of why the ninja split. Emphasis the fact that Kai blames himself for what happened to Zane, and continues to do so throughout the season. Add that to why he’s so desperate to save Skylor from her dad (not willing to lose someone else). We still lose Garmadon, Kai and Lloyd have a talk at the end of the season. Also ZANE IMMEDIATELY GOES TO GET PIXAL A NEW BODY WTHHH????

Season 5 - Idk this season was pretty good over all I think. A bit better lore established into the cloud kingdom, hints that they don’t actually control fate they just think they do. Explain where the FUCK NIMBUS CAME FROM?? Water can still beat up ghosts but idk feel like there should be some other factors involved, some magic. Kai and Zane figure out they can make water a LOT sooner. Also why doesn’t Kai just set the preeminent’s house armor on fire??? Should have. OH I did forget since this season is supposed to be for NYA GETTING HER WATER ELEMENT how about she actually GO WITH THE NINJA AND DO SOME SHIT SOMETIMES??? I don’t mind her training, specially Ronin helping her but like??? Wtf why not have her ENGAGE, idiots.

Season 6 - I’m the weirdo who actually likes season 6 but that doesn’t mean it’s not without its issues. I don’t mind Jay wondering about where he stands with Nya but his behavior throughout the season has to stay consistent. When he agrees with Nya he needs to let it go he needs to LET IT GO. IT LITERALLY SHOULDN’T BE BROUGHT UP AGAIN UNTIL THE LIGHTHOUSE. He also needs to linger more on his birth father (and besides he should have suspected he’s adopted since season 4 cause he knows neither of his parents had lightning powers). Zane doesn’t ignore Pixal’s warning about Nadakhan but if she’s off somewhere else idk how she gets threatened I’m sure Nadakhan could figure it out. OH and time can still reset and stuff idc but like, Jay and Nya need to talk about it and they need to GO BACK FOR ECHO. EVEN IF THEY DON’T FIND HIM THERE.

Day of the Departed - just wish it was longer tbh, but major changes: Why do the ninja not seem to care that cole is FADING OUT OF EXISTENCE and Lou should be a lot more worried about his son.

Season 7 - I mean, it’s mostly a trash fire, but I think it’d be a lot more enjoyable if they actually had good sibling dynamics going on. Acronix following his brother because he always has, but starts questioning their plans as things go. At first their relationship is much better, which is why they best Kai and Nya, but by the end that flips over. Actually have Kai and Nya having an ISSUE. Kai thinks their parents could have been traitors, Nya seemingly doesn’t care because she’s so wrapped up with her samurai x stuff being stolen. They end up fighting and don’t make up until the boiling sea. ALSO GIVE RAY AND MAYA A BETTER FUCKING EXCUSE FOR BEING GONE THEY COULD HAVE FUCKING SHANKED KRUX WHEN HIS BACK WAS TURNED GET OUT OF HERE HE HAD NO LEVERAGE.

Also Machia isn’t dead okay she’s just in the past she WILL COME BACK

Seasons 8 and 9 I’d say are pretty solid honestly? My minor changes: Garmadon isn’t Garmadon he’s a fucking fake get out of here with that shit THE REAL GARMADON WOULD NEVER. We actually learn where Mr. E came from I don’t even care if it’s just Harumi and UV talking about how they found him in a scrap heap and got him fixed just give me something. Stop treating Dareth like SHIT. Ronin and The Commissioner plan a jail break long before they’re let out in season 9. Teen Wu is a lot less... air headed. Like seriously he seems to have more logic when he’s a child it doesn’t add up. I’m not saying he has to remember everything but wth?? Oh, and Mistaké isn’t dead fuck you.

Season 10 - ............................................ delete it and start over. Literally, hate all of it, get it out of here. Four episodes for villains you built up like FUCK in the last two seasons??? All of them fucking as big as people???????? cowardly, weak, uninspired, I don’t want it I’m just going to have to redo this whole gd season. A) Oni leader is a QUEEN now and she can be up to 30 feet tall no I do not give a FUCK B) Fake ass Garmadon is revealed to be a different oni entirely he was an agent for the queen the whole time but never finished his mission C) She can still paralyze a bunch of people but man Lloyd you’re going to need more than a shiny tornado to fight her off. D) In fact you need to summon your other great grandma so the two of them can get over their divorce spat. E) Where’s the mask of vengeance bring that back into play. F) Mistaké shows back up to help. I suppose plot wise it can?? Mostly run the same but I think they’re going to have to run much farther than the city with how fast she spreads her reach. Also she’s weak for Lloyd because he’s the smol great grandson and he has to use that to his advantage to slow her down. Mistaké makes something that can unparalyze people and they get some of their allies back before the finale thank god. Faith isn’t just in a coma the whole GD time.

Season 11 - Fire half? Good. I need a much better reason why the ninja go to the never realm tho because wow did they just make everyone out of character in that last episode. The ninja have no reason to just ignore Wu and shove him out like that. Wu has no reason to NOT NOTICE LLOYD IS BREAKING INTO HIS ROOM WHEN HE WAS KICKING THE NINJAS ASSES IN THE FIRST EPISODE. Ice half?? ... h Yeah no they should have known Zane was the emperor from the start LMAO. Or at least suspected the possibility. The decades of time passing??? Deleted. Maybe give it a year. Idk why it’s just Lloyd snapping Zane out if why aren’t the other ninja involved like p l e a s e. Also kill Vex with an ice spike, thanks.

Season 12 - Over all I liked what this season had going but there... should have been more. And that ending felt so crunched together like damn... Unagami was a p cool villain at least BUT idk, despite all the focus on the plot so much of it didn’t feel tangible enough. Even if we’re going to focus more on the video game world I want to see more of what these NPCs are up to. Should have tossed in a couple of filler episodes. Also can someone just kill the Mechanic too SMH (and they should have tied Wu up in something sturdier how did he not just break out of that WHATEVER)

Suppose I’ll stop there I haven’t season season 13 yet.

Oh, the timeline itself needs some fucking work too. At least establish Wu and Garmadon’s sudden aging. At least establish how old Zane is (I’d believe he was built 40 years ago but I find it hard to believe he was active for all of it). Establish that yeah the FSM really did basically fuck off like idk 14 years ago and idk why the show acts like it was so long ago it couldn’t have been based on the other facts we know have Wu learn that his dad is a bitch ass motherfucker and he needs to ditch.

Honestly there’s more but like................. this is the simple version

So work has been my entire life this week, so let's do some gang works at Starbucks AU

Zane is the guy that drinks only cold drinks no matter how cold it is outside.

Zane's also the one with a super complicated drink order. (specific pumps of a dozen different syrups, upside down, two normal long shots and a risotto blonde shot, with vanilla bean power on top, double blended, two kinds of milk. That kind of thing) But he will not order it unless he knows the person on bar really well and knows they're ok with making it. (He's the one that comes through drive thru and asks who's on bar before ordering)

Lloyd has a permanent dibs on all broken and expiring cake pops.

Nya can, and has, chugged a tall cup of nirto like it was a shot.

Jay can't drink caffeine, so he's the go to on non-caffeinated drink recommendations.

Kai and Nya often forget to tell everyone when they switch shifts or cover for each other. It's not a fight worth having so they just accept that the other Smith Sibling will show up instead of the one that's scheduled sometimes.

Lloyd takes his tea with 17 pumps of syrup.

If anybody even considers not taking their food mark out, Cole somehow teleports next to them to ask if he can have it.

Jay's usual is an uncut lemonade with peach and guava juice and 7 pumps of raspberry.

Kai will jump out of (and back in through) the drive thru window to retrieve change. No matter how many times they coach him, he still does it.

Kai also loves to handle problem customers. He's very good at knowing when to tell someone off and he does it so well they almost always leave in embarrassment.

The ones that don't get chased out and banned.

Zane has the best bar times

Lloyd has the best customer connections, Kai is a close second

Nya is the worst at customer connections, but she's awesome at everything else.

Cole will try anything you make. His drink orders are awful though. He put matcha in a nitro once.

Pixal doesn't work at the store, but is frequently there for various reasons (Bringing Zane food, coming to see him, with him when he comes to get his tips or check his schedule, etc) so everyone knows her on sight.

Pixal drinks a Caramel Macchiato with an extra shot. She likes Zane surprising her with different syrups though.

Jay pushes the dress code pretty far.

They got Cole to eat used coffee grounds from the espresso machine once by telling him it was a brownie.

he didn't speak to anyone after that until they bought him a whole box of real brownies to apologize.

Nya will always get various ice coffees or cold brews unless it's really cold.

Kai keeps changing his favorite drink, but he loves the Strawberry Acai so it's usually in anything cold he gets.

Kai and Nya will only drink whole milk in their hot drinks.

Kai hugged the ovens when he got cold and Lloyd started to copy him.

Jay makes sassy comments over the head set all the time

Dareth comes in every day and picks up his mobile order. They all love seeing him.

Cole is always scheduled to help with truck deliveries because he can lift anything, however he can't be trusted to do it by himself because he'll put things in the wrong places if nobody is there to tell him where they go

Nya keeps her bar spotless.

Lloyd will drop whatever job he's doing and go look if there is a dog in drive thru. (He will also offer them a pup-uccino)

Kai is almost as fast as Zane on bar, but he can't keep it clean to save his life.

Jay is the other fastest and will often be on bar with Zane during peak.

Cole loves dark roast and will go through the trouble of getting a pour-over in the afternoons (Never in the drive thru though.)

Lloyd's dad will come to the store and do laps through the drive thru over and over to bring their drive times down.

Lloyd will bring his mom home a london fog sometimes since it's her favorite.

Jay's parents love showing up unannounced and surprising everyone. They almost never order the same thing and they have trouble remembering the names of the drinks, but everyone loves them.

Cole's dad makes him get him almost every new cup and mug. Cole wonders if they even still own any non-Starbucks cups anymore.

Ronin gets two venti pike every morning and almost never chats.

Skylor orders "surprise me" drinks all the time. But she's banned Cole from choosing for her.

Every time Nya gets annoyed she tells herself "Do it for the spotify premium." to motivate herself.

Cole's dad uses his spotify premium more than he does.

Kai started on because he wanted to use the college program and got Nya the job.

Kai can get protective of his hours since he needs to keep a 25 a week average to qualify for the scholarship.

Jay is also in the college program, but is less scared of losing it than Kai since he can rely on his parents for backup.

ok so, that was a lot. I just....kept going didn't I? IDK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tracing The Patterns On Your Skin

While Zane and Pixal's scratches and dents can be fixed up, Cole's can't, which often leads to early morning confessions along with confusion.

Ship: Heavymetalshipping

Words: 1342

A/N: Almost made this angsty. Almost.

Maybe next time.

-linebreak-

It was the early morning, maybe around 6 or 7, the sun was creeping through the window shutters. As if a warm, pastel orange filter had found its way into the house and invaded their room. But despite how warm it was he was cold, why you might ask because he squished between two nindroid one of which was the ice ninjas who was freezing cold 24/7.

Cole shivered slightly, turning on his side. "You guys are cold," He wasn't really sure what he was expecting, Zane's the ice ninja after all but did Pixal have to be cold too? "Sorry, I cannot control how my temperature chooses to the influx on varying level of degrees,"

Cole let out an undignified groan and turned to lay on his side that was facing Pixal. "It's too early to start talking all smart like that and expect me to understand..." He felt a cold finger lightly tracing the scar on the back of his right shoulder. "I can try and adjust my temperature if you like, " Pixal offered, gaining a small hum of affirmation from Cole.

He heard a small whirring sound close to his right start-up and he assumed that it was the sound of Pixal's internal heaters starting up. He let out a sigh of either relief or exasperation, maybe sleeping in the middle wasn't his best idea because on one side he'd be cold and the other he'd be warm; it wasn't his fault Pixal and Zane were just so freakishly tall, but at least their clothes were comfortable to wear.

Feeling himself drifting off he snuggled into his pillow with a smile, this was the nice. No one trying to destroy the city, just a chance to relax and spend time with his boyfriend and girlfriend. They could all use more days like this. Dozing off, he was woken up when the left side of the bed started to dip, what exactly was Zane doing? He looked over at Zane opening one of his eyes. "What're you doin'?"

Zane froze in his place. The ice ninja was sitting up, legs swung over the side and his arms at his side; he was in his signature striped button-up pajamas. He looked over at him and gave him a smile that made his heart flutter. He turned on his side giving his boyfriend a lazy grin, extending his arm and grabbing Zane's hand, giving it a squeeze. "What'z up? Some snakes taking over or trying to break into the house?"

That got a chuckle from him, great going! The earth ninja's grin got even wider. Zane squeezed his hand back with a smile. "Thankfully not today, maybe tomorrow or this afternoon," He let out a snort, hearing Pixal behind him let out a muffled laughed. Giving his hand one last squeeze he got up shaking his head. "I'm just going to go make breakfast, don't miss me too much,"

He just grinned at him while Pixal exclaimed; "Don't take too long," Cole let out a hum of agreement, turning on his side. Snuggling back into his pillow he started to doze off, ignoring the shifting he heard on the side of him.

Pixal moved a tuff of hair out of the way and traced the lightning-like scar on his face with her brows furrowing slightly. He looked away, his face flushing from the unwanted attention. She tilted her head a bit, going over the scar once more. "How did you get this scar?" Pixal asked. He looked back at her meeting her eyes, shrugging and closing his eyes.

"I honestly don't know, I went through the rift on the day of the departed became human and it was just... There...." She starred at him for a moment, blinking and then looked away.

"Huh..." She hummed. "Must be an effect of the going through the rift," She conceded gaining a nod from Cole. "Probably," He replied turning on his stomach and snuggling up to the pillow with a sigh and a smile.

"This one?" Pixal inquired tracing a scar that was pale in comparison to his dark skin tone, along with jagged around the edges of it; it was on the side stomach, barely peeking over the front of it.

"Got it from a piece of debris that was stuck there, " Although muffled she heard him loud a clear. "Does it hurt?" She inquired.

"When I first got it, yeah, almost got infected too but thanks to Kai and his powers, we managed to get it shut before it could do any real damage."

"He burned it shut?" She gaped with wide eyes, sitting up slightly. The Earth-ninja nodded, turning his head to look up in her direction. "It was the only option or else I might have bled out or had it gotten infected, it hurt like hell but it could have been worse,"

"Does it... Still hurt?"

"Sometimes, but it's really just phantom pain though, the same thing with the scar from the rift," He gestured with his right hand, pointing at the lightning-like scar on his forehead. "When I use my lava arms this hurts a little, not a lot but it's kinda noticeable."

"Huh," She said.

"Yep,"

Then there was silence. Pixal, randomly, leaned over and pressed a kiss to where his lightning-like scar was. "There," She said with a smile. "Now it won't hurt anymore.

The Earth Ninja let out a small chuckle, turning to look at Pixal. "If you think that's gonna work then trust me when I say you got a lot more places to kiss then," He joked.

The nindroid just rolled her eyes but went along with it. "Then prepare yourself for my final attack then!" She ducked down and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing a kiss to his cheeks. Cole let out a loud lighthearted laugh as Pixal started to pepper his face with kisses. "C'mon Pix! Stop it!"

She just smirked, continuing on with her attack. "Not until I'm sure all your pain is gone, and I'll make sure it'll never come back!" Cole let out a snort, a growing grin on her face.

"Am I interrupting something?" Zane's voice cut through the laughter that filled the room like a hot knife through butter. Cole looked towards the doorway where Zane was standing with a flushed face as Pixal's eye's glowed up light Christmas tree.

"Not really, " He quietly muttered, smoothing his face in the pillow. How did this morning go so wrong and awkward so quickly? Oh FSM what did he do to deserve this.

Pixal tightened her grip around him, feightning a innocent look like the menace she was. "Do you wish to join?" Fuck he forgot how blunt and kinda wild Pixal was.

Practically shooting up from his spot(along with managing to untangle himself from Pixal's grip in the process) with a face that was probably as red as Kai's gi. "Pix!" He spluttered.

"Ah, " Zane titled his head to the side looking towards the ground. "Maybe another time,"

"Don't encourage her Zane! Don't encourage her," Zane let out a small chuckle, sauntering towards the two with folded arms. If only this moment of peace could last forever, but sadly no. Maybe one day, just maybe.

Unfolding his arms, the bed dipped under him. Leaning forward he pressed a kiss to Cole forehead who just gave him a simple smile, while Pixal had decided to stick her tongue out at him when he did it to her.

"Breakfast is ready," He softly spoke eye's fluttering closed with a fond smile, leaning toward Pixal to brushs some hair out of her face. The girl nindroid extended her arms towards Zane, opening and closing her arms and signaling him to come closer which he promptly followed. Cupping his cool metal face, her eye's fluttering closed she pressed a soft kiss to his lips.

Cole looked over at the exchange between the two and looked over at the ceiling, wondering how they had gotten so grossly domestic.

A/N: Find this on AO3!

Celestial Influence 7 (pt1)

(Hnnnnn thank you for helping me out as always @thelucariosfish! Ily! Also splitting this in two so ye. Next post will be another day.)

_______________

"How do you even have food around here?" Cole asked as he watched Zane and Garmadon work in the kitchenette the next morning, Lloyd put to sleep on his bed upstairs.

"Oni are shape-shifters and Lloyd has the power of amber, which means he also has the power of form like Nya does. We take occasional trips to Ninjago for supplies." The Oni shrugged, stirring the pancake batter with his lower hands while adding milk with an upper.

"I'm more curious how you got like this." Kai says, gesturing to his clearly Oni state with the mentality of the Garmadon they once knew.

"Yeah. Didn't those Oni masks just bring back the bad you?" Nya asked, perplexed.

"That it did." Garmadon confirmed, reaching for a small bowl of blueberries, his gray-tipped tail flicking as he did. "But power like that is never that simple. Try as the Oni- my kind- may, they cannot change the will of things. For where there is shadow, there is light, just as no matter how bright the light may be, the moment it flickers, the shadows return-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lessons and what not. Just tell us how Lloyd managed to bring you back!" Jay huffed impatiently from his crossed legged seat mid air.

Garmadon shot him an unimpressed look but he supposed he owes them a more direct explanation. He sighed then turned to them, setting the empty bowl aside as he stirred still, Zane quietly working on eggs and bacon.

"A soul may be one thing but it has two sides, like a coin. The good and the bad. Much like a coin, you can't part the two sides, or rather make the coin hold one side. But what you can do, is to put the coin on one side, allowing only one side to be visible and the other side hidden underneath. That's exactly what the masks did: amplified the dark half of my soul and suppressed the light half under it." He explained, making sure they were all following him. "What Lloyd did was bring back balance within my soul, turning the coin on its side so to speak. The reawakening of my Oni blood through the masks however, is irreversible. I will tell you all the very same thing I told Lloyd." He says seriously and they all unconsciously stiffened.

"I am both the Sensei and the Lord you once knew. Both sides are equal within me which means I may do and say things that makes that clear. While I have no intentions to rule Ninjago, I also have no desire to become a Sensei again." He told them, meeting all of his former students' eyes. "Right now, I'm content to simply be a father." He adds, turning away again as he focused on his batter.

The five ninja shared a look before Zane spoke up.

"... Is that why you chose not to let Sensei Wu know?" He says quietly and Garmadon's shoulders stiffened then slumped.

"I'm not the brother he once knew." He whispered solemnly.

"But you are the brother he'd be happy to have." They all looked to Lloyd as he walked down the narrow staircase.

"Lloyd!" The others called, perking up.

"Hey guy-" Was all he could get out before he was smothered in a group hug.

"Hey, we missed you bud!" Cole grinned, ruffling his hair.

"How have you been faring?" Zane asked him with a pleased smile on his face.

"I've been good!" Lloyd says with a laugh, then smiled at his friends. "I've missed you guys." He says fondly then laughed as he was pulled into another group hug.

Garmadon watched the group as they caught up then smiled a bit as he turned back to the stove. He can take over breakfast.

___

"Woah! Kai has a dragon?!" Lloyd asked excitedly once Cole let it slip over breakfast.

"4 to be exact." Kai says with a grin that soon fell. "I'll have to head back soon. I'm worried, you know?" Kai says, glancing out the opened doors.

"Speaking of, I gotta check on those boneheads back in the underworld. They're pretty clumsy so let's hope that the Underworld Temple is in one piece still." Cole says, twirling his fork.

"Not to mention we have to check in on Sensei Wu." Nya reminded.

"And figure out what we're gonna do from here." Zane added.

"Yeah. It's clear we're not needed as ninja anymore but defending Ninjago is in our blood." Jay spoke up with a frown. "... But at the same time, it's been great having a break, you know?" He added, looking to his friends who shared a look.

"Jay's right. Despite everything… It's nice to just relax for a bit but at the same time, I don't want to just abandon our role of protecting Ninjago, no matter how unwanted we are." Lloyd says with a frown, poking at his egg he hadn't touched.

"We should confront Sensei with this and see if he can assist us." Zane suggested and the team gave their agreement.

"So when do we leave?" Nya asked them, twirling her fork.

"After you've all finished your meal." Garmadon says from the kitchenette and they all looked down at their half finished meal.

"You'll come with us, right dad?" Lloyd asked quietly and Garmadon looked at his son, at his large, pleading green eyes…

Then swore.

"Woah! Did Garmadon just swear?!" Jay yelled, looking at him wide eyed in surprise and delight.

"Don't listen to your dad, Lloyd." Kai says, covering his ears as he shot Garmadon a glare.

Said Oni only rolled his eyes, placing a lower hand on his hip.

"Hurry up before I change my mind," was all Garmadon said and Lloyd beamed at his dad.

The former Lord huffed lightly then turned back to the pots with a small smile. One thing hasn't changed: he'd do anything for his son.

Wu swept the Monastery yard in silence, his movements slow to reflect that he was deep in thought. It's been almost 4 months since he's lain sight on his students. While Ninjago was still in one piece, it's been a struggle to keep it that way. The other elemental masters were by no means useless but they are new to protecting all of Ninjago, and this often too. Villains old and new have stepped up to the plate, some wanting to rule, most wanting to make mischief and steal. They haven't had any real threats yet but that won't last very long. It's all a matter of time. He set aside his broom then looked over at the pillar in the middle of the training yard that held all of their symbols on the ground around it. It was an anomaly.

During once each week when the celestial occurrence happens, each of their symbols glow in turn with each. While it may have been obvious that they had been the ones to cause each, the glows only goes further to confirm that his pupils were well. He walked over to the pillar- only to be stunned by a bright flash of light. He stumbled back, rubbing his eyes to erase the white spots taking over his vision so he could see.

"Oh Sensei! Good timing!" He looked up then, his heart swelling with hope and happiness to see his students there, all grinning at him.

"Ninja…" He says in relief, a smile lighting the weary lines of his face. "I-" He cut himself off once he noticed the tall figure behind them shift.

His eyes widened once he saw his brother there, saw his red-orange eyes flicker up to him before he sighed, stepping forward, the claws on his inverted legs tapping lightly as he did. Soon, his older brother was standing before him, all but towering over his shorter frame.

"There is… Much to discuss." Garmadon spoke and Wu couldn't help but give a huff of laughter.

"That is an understatement."

"Any tips on what to do here, Sensei?" Kai asked after Lloyd explained their current situation, all of them seated for tea in the large communal space.

Wu pondered all he had just learned for a moment. They've made vast strides in control over their powers during the time they've been away but despite that, Ninjago may never accept them again as its protectors. But Ninjago did need them, that much was undeniable. He sipped his tea.

"This is indeed a… Unique situation." He began. "Ninjago will need your protection still. While the Elemental Masters and Pixal grow stronger each day, the role of Ninjago's protector will always belong to you six. Given that they have refused you all and are unlikely to willingly ask for your help… Then there is only one solution that fits all of your needs." He says, glancing at them.

"What?" Jay asked impatiently.

"Let's just say… What Ninjago doesn't know… Won't hurt them." Wu says with a barely suppressed smirk.

It took them all a second before they got what Wu was implying.

"Wait, you want us to-"

"Keep protecting Ninjago, but under the radar?" Zane finished for Nya.

"More along the lines of an occasional patrol." Garmadon corrected, all of their attention shifting to him. "From what I've seen, the other Elemental Masters are effective, despite their lessening struggle. An occasional check up to see how they're doing and give a hidden but helping hand should suffice." He says then finished off his tea.

"My brother is correct," Wu spoke up, saying the word fondly and Garmadon could barely keep the small smile off his face. "This way, not only do you each get to keep a considerable amount of your free time, you are also still involved in keeping Ninjago safe," he summarised, and the ninja pondered this.

"It shouldn't be a problem staying out of sight. At least, not for me." Kai grinned then vanished from his seat, setting his cup down. "Plus having time for my dragons still? Sign me up." He says, appearing next to Wu.

"Well, I am resigning vehicles and mechs for the other ems as is. I can drop them off in areas I know they'll see them so that could give us even more time. I mean, some peace and quiet isn't a bad thing. I'm down." Nya hummed, tapping her nails against the table.

"Yeah I'm in. I mean, the Skulkin can take care of themselves- er, mostly- but Ninjago is also under my jurisdiction." He grinned, resting his chin in his hand.

"Yeah! Though looks like I gotta get a hobby or a pet. Or just bug you guys." Jay shrugged then grinned at his teammates cheekily.

"Don't forget your promise to your parents though," Lloyd reminds him.

"Never." Jay says seriously, giving them all a bit of whiplash from his jump from playful to dead serious.

"Well… Good." Lloyd says, blinking at him then turning to his uncle. "That works then. Ninjago will always be my home and I'll always defend it but... I finally have my dad back. For good this time." They didn't miss the subtle glow in his eyes at that fact.

"I wanna enjoy it, you know?" He said, smiling at his father who returned it and ruffled his hair gently, pulling a small laugh from his lips.

"Speaking of parents. Nya, are you up for a visit to ours in a day or two?" Kai asked her and she nods.

"Yeah. It's been a while after all." She says softly, tracing the lines on her cup.

"For now," Kai says as he stepped away from their Sensei. "I have to head back to the Fire Temple," he announced, and they nodded.

"I'll come with!" Jay says, eager to meet the dragons Kai was worrying so much over.

"I think we all will. I mean, it's been a while after all." Lloyd says and a moment of silence passed as they remembered the Ultra Dragon.

"Let's go then." Cole says, breaking the silence as he stood up.

"I'll be back soon Uncle, Dad." Lloyd said as they all got up.

"I'll be here when you get back." Garmadon reassured, noting how his son's shoulders relaxed.

Lloyd nods before heading out with the others. Soon, there was a flash of light and accompanying thunder.

"... So, shall I give you a scratch behind the ear?" Wu asks, glancing down at his brother's thumping tail.

"Fuck off, Wu."

"Flare! Solaris! Spark! Heath! I'm home!" Kai called out as they all walked across the bridge over the molten lava moat below.

There was silence for a moment before Solaris and Flare rushed out, eager chitters and roars escaping them. They skittered to a stop not far away however once they noticed he had company they didn't know.

"It's alright! They're friends!" Kai laughed, walking up to them both, reaching his hands out and they both lowered their heads to them, purring as he petted them. "Where's Spark and Heath?" He asked with a small frown, noticing that they weren't coming.

That seemed to remind them of something and they began nudging him towards the temple. Immediately knowing something was wrong, he took off without explanation, leaving his friends to follow, confused and worried. He hame to a stop in the ground center of the temple, looking up at where his nest was. There, Heath sat anxiously, looking down into the next. Kai took a single leap, landing at the edge of it and gasped softly to see Spark laying there, breathing quickly, his worst fears coming through.

"Spark…" He whispered, shifting closer, hands hovering over her, not sure where to begin with trying to fix this, trying to make her better. "Heath, what happened?" Kai asked the blue dragon as his friends and Heath's siblings joined him.

Heath gave a low whine, wings pressed flat with a pained look on his face that showed he didn't know.

"Don't worry Spark, I'll-" Kai cut himself off when he touched her.

"What is it?" Nya asked, all of them watching them.

"Can we help?" Jay asked and Kai shook his head.

"No, no. It's just… She's colder than I remember,” he says with a frown before his eyes widened. "I think I know what's wrong." Kai then gathered fire in both of his hands.

He gently rested them on her body, a pulse of fire rushing over her. Spark blinked open her eyes then, a confused coo leaving her and Kai laughed.

"She had a cold is all. It happened once before with Solaris shortly after I made them. They're still growing so it's pretty easy for them to get sick. A lava bath or a faster working fire shot from me does the trick." Kai explains as Spark lifted her head, sitting up slowly as she regained her bearings.

"Feeling better girl?" He asked, reaching up to stroke her snout and she purrs, leaning into his touch.

She opened her eyes to look at him then spotted the group, a curious sound leaving her.

"They're friends. Go say hi." He encouraged her and she shuffles past him eagerly, taking a sniff at Lloyd.

"Nice to meet you." The blonde smiled as he reached up, letting her smell his hand before pressing her snout against it.

That gave the others the courage to interact with her as well as Solaris and Flare. Kai smiled at them but it fell when he turned to Heath, seeing the neutral expression he wore but seeing that he was troubled through his eyes.

"She's alright now, Heath. You did good," Kai says, reaching up to stroke the blue scales of his snout but Heath only looked more troubled.

Kai frowned, looking over his dragon, trying to figure out the source of the negativity he could feel from him. Heath wasn't usually like this. Did something else happen? He looked back at the other members of their little family, seeing them relishing under the curious attention of the other ninja then looked back at Heath. It hit Kai out of nowhere but it didn't stop him from feeling ridiculous for not realising sooner. He tasked Heath with a lot of responsibility, taking care of his siblings as he did. To have Spark come around with a cold so suddenly and for him to be as helpless to do anything about it as he was must have taken a serious toll on him. If he was in his place, of course it would bother him.

"Heath…" Kai says quietly then stood. "We'll be back in a sec, guys." He called, beckoning Heath to come with him as he floated his way towards the main chamber of the volcano the temple was attached to.

Heath hesitated, looking at Solaris as she gave the freckled brunette a lick as he laughed, looking at Flare as he purred under the expert petting of the black-clothed male and the one in white, looking lastly to Spark as she preened under the attention of all the others. They're just as powerful as their creator. They'd be safe… with that, he climbed off the high nest, following after his creator.

Kai lead him away from the others and towards the magma pool that made up the core of the volcano. He then stood at the edge, slipping his shoes off before sitting and dipping his feet in the hot material, the heat not bothering him at all. Heath padded over, sitting at the edge of the pool, his tail dipped into the material as well, his wings tucked close as he looked at the hot material bubbling before him. Kai watched him for a moment before he fixed his eyes there too, finally speaking.

"You did well. Looking after the others I mean." Kai says and Heath glanced at him, his eyes clearly showing that he didn't agree. "You did. I don't need to look to know your expression is saying otherwise," Kai huffed, and Heath only returned to watching the magma bubbles.

"Really though, Heath," Kai says, looking over to the blue dragon that refused to make eye contact. "I'm really proud of you." He shifts closer so he could reach up to pet Heath’s maw.

Heath shook his hand off however, a series of growls, hisses and grumbles pouring from him angrily but Kai understood what he was trying to say. While he couldn't speak or directly understand what they were trying to say, he did have a connection with then that exceeded language barriers, and that made him understand exactly what they were saying anyways.

"Heath," Kai deadpans, stopping the anxious blue dragon from ranting any further.

Heath finally met his creator's eyes, looking into his understanding amber eyes that flickered and morphed like the flames he commanded.

"Spark getting sick wasn't something you could have prevented. It's the will of all living things to get sick at some point. It's not your fault. It's just the will of things," Kai says gently, his touch feeling far warmer than the boiling materials his tail was dipped in. "You've done perfectly. None of you have a scratch, the temple and forest are still in one piece and you didn't leave Spark's side the whole time she was sick. But I can tell your worry, your doubts won't go away so easily." He says with a sad smile, tilting his head to the side as he continued to stroke Heath's muzzle.

"Good thing I'm practically a god. Let's see what these powers can do." Kai announces, looking down at his hands.

He then took a slow breath out, focusing on what he wanted, then willed his goals into being. Heath watched curiously as his creator began to glow, the light traveling up his hands to his face. He watched still as light began to collect in the space between his hands, glowing brighter and brighter still. Heath looked away once it became too much, only looking back once his creator sighed. In open palms, he held a white flame that danced leisurely. The flame then grew apart, creating four equally sized flames, one meant for each of the dragons he birthed from his flames.

"This should do the trick. Healing flames." Kai says then held three in one hand as he got to his feet, standing before Heath. "You'll each have this one. Just in case someone else gets sick." He says then pressed the flame into Heath's chest, watching as he glowed white for a moment, the glow soon fading to reveal Heath looking the same- aside from his claws and beginnings of his horns being white that is.

"From now on, you don't need me or the volcano to help you heal up. You can do it for each other. You don't have to feel helpless anymore," Kai says softly and Heath looked at his creator for the longest while before leaning in and rubbing his head up against his chest, a low purr escaping him, worries for the future soothed for now.

Kai only smiled and rubbed between his horn nubs.

"Come on. Let's share the love," Kai says softly, Heath lifting his head with a confirming huff, leading the way back to the others, his strides confident and protective.

Kai laughs as he dissolved into smoke, reappearing in the nest where the others were, the healing fire ready to be gifted.

"So we'll meet back up here in two days?" Cole asked asked as they all stood outside the Monastery in the courtyard.

"Yeah. Then we do first patrol." Lloyd told them and they nodded.

"Alright. Then I'm off to my parents," Jay says, taking a step back then vanishing in a flash of lightning.

"The same for us." Nya grins, gesturing to Kai before they both took off going airborne.

"I have to head back to the Underworld," Cole says, tapping his foot against the ground and Zane watched as he slowly sunk into the ground without so much as a tremble from the earth below them.

"I'll return back to the Birch Forest." Zane says then paused, his eyes glowing brighter for a moment before he blinked it away. "... I just need to make a quick detour first." He adds and Lloyd nodded at him, watching as he and the Falcon vanished into shadow.

Lloyd stood there for a second longer then yawned as he turned inside, scratching at his stomach, his new gi fading into his comfy hoodie and sweats as he did. He walked towards his father and uncle as they talked at length, interrupting by crawling into his father's arms and testing his head against his chest, dozing almost instantly, leaving both Oni and hybrid to stare at him. Garmadon only released low, barely audible purrs as he stroked his son's hair, picking back up on their conversation about the future of the ninja as their powers continue to develop. Thankfully, much slower than their initial power gain.

Wu was content to continue their discussion, eyes on Lloyd as he slept comfortably. His brother had explained how Lloyd brought him back but it made him even more aware of just how powerful he was. Soul manipulation was not an easy feat after all. In fact, only his father, Lloyd's grandfather, managed to do it without a relic and even what little he managed to do was a great struggle. It made the fact that Lloyd's power, that the ninja's power surpassed that of their father's. They had the power to reshape, to remake the entirety of Ninjago with mere thoughts if they wanted to. He supposed he should be grateful this power fell into their laps and not anyone else's.

Zane reappeared on a tiny remote island somewhere in the Endless Sea. Reclusive as it may be, Zane knew this island, had been here before. But the tower that had stood tall was in less than favourable conditions, no doubt due to the backlash if unlocking their powers. At the very least, it was still standing. Zane began walking up the stairs as his Falcon checked the perimeter, his mind going back to the brief vision he had. Usually he received visions while sleeping. Having them while awake is… Different. But it's more convenient, unable to be passed off as a dream. Though this one made him question a few things…

He stood before the wooden door, withering no doubt from exposure to seawater, no means of replacing it available. Still, he was gentle on opening it, a microscopic amount of his powers more than enough to freeze the locks to their core, a gentle push breaking them like they weren't there at all. Zane continued inside, keeping his steps light against the decaying wood, a small frown on his face. He supposes the broadening of his understanding that came with awakening their powers was responsible for his lack of a harsh reaction at what was revealed to him. He understood his father's position why he would hide something this big from him. But he also understood his father was incorrect in hiding this. If he had said something, left him a clue, perhaps he could be here sooner. Perhaps he wouldn't have to be left on his own for this long, wouldn't be forced to suffer loneliness and malfunctions. He looked up as he finally entered the main room of the tower, the slumped figure next to the table catching his eye. He walked towards them, his footsteps unheard, despite the worn floorboards, standing before the younger brother he realised he had just moments ago. He stood before him and the small rust covered bot he clutched close to him. He recognised it as the one his father left behind. Tai-D. He doesn't appear to be working anymore, either. The rust was too substantial. He watched as the bronze Nindroid's eyes flickered on, a creak sounding as he lifted his head.

He watched still as those mustard-coloured eyes widened at the sight of him. There was a straining creak as he lifted his hand towards him with difficulty.

"Y-y-you're… Y-y-you're…" Echo Zane attempted to say, his voice glitching and faltering as he suffered from lack of maintenance.

There's only so much a Nindroid can do with so little supplies after all. Zane knelt before him, a small smile on his face as he took his hand, lacing their fingers together.

"I'm sorry it took me so long to get here, brother." He says quietly as the glow of Echo's eyes flickered in and out. "Things will be alright from here on out." Zane promised him, and Echo managed a smile, even as his brother began to glow.

His vision flickered out as he started to power down. He'll be alright from now on…

Brother was here…

________

When Echo awoken next, it was to an unfamiliar and very high roof. Are those stairs?... He sat up- then blinked once his joints hadn't creaked or rubbed in any way. In fact, they had never felt so smooth. He looked down at his hands… Then blinked again.

"What's… This?" He whispered, noticing the minor adjustment in his metal colour and design

It's hard not to, not when the analytics in the corners of his vision were so sharp and precise. He's never had them that updated before. His plating was never this seamless either. What happened? He blinked once he heard a familiar sound. His eyes widened once Tai-D hopped up, looking more put together than he ever has been before.

"Tai… D…" Echo whispered, eyes wide and happy.

He wasn't rusty anymore! He wasn't… He wasn't… Gone. Tai-D only gave a beep of greeting.

"I see you're awake." Echo looked to the voice as they spoke and he blinked, seeing him there.

The one he was modeled after, the one father told many tales about… The original Zane.

"It only occured to ask your consent before I gave you an update and for that, I'm sorry." Zane apologized and Echo blinked at him.

"So you really came…" Echo whispered, confusing and concerning his older brother.

Zane saw him leap at him before he actually did it but he allowed it all the same, hugging him close as Echo clung to him tightly. He rubbed his back gently as his brother shook, unphased when he began dampening his clothes with the lens cleaner that acted as tears. He's been through a lot after all. Zane closed his eyes as he held him tight. He won't ever be alone again. That's one thing he can promise.

___________

(Finally posted this! Ahhh! At least part of it... Anyways, I wanted to do a Nya and Kai talking wirh their parents thing but i cannot Ray or Maya so oof. I'll use Zane and Echo Zane content to make up for that. Thanks for reading!)

Escape

Summary: Ninjago Hands of Time, but it plays out differently.

A/N: Basically I’ve had this one thing on my mind for a while and I really wanted to save this because no one’s going to see it until I come around to my season 7 fic but then I decided why not type it so I won’t forget it so here’s this!

@cyberstarfox @fakys Futureshipping content is in here if you squint hard enough.

It was obvious that Cyrus was growing tiresome of the work he was forced to do. Acronix could see that much. He tried to keep him company by talking to him, but it wasn’t having an effect anymore. He only answered questions now and it bothered the younger twin to no end that he wouldn’t say anything anymore. It was like he was losing pieces of himself by the day.. and it wasn’t literal this time as Acronix had heard once. Cyrus jokes about how Machia wasn’t as bad as the Overlord seeing as how she didn’t take off his arm or forced him into being a half dead form.

The twin was honestly horrified by that. He’d seen things in war but he never thought someone could be more cruel than those Serpentine the Alliance fought. He shook his head at that and made himself look around. It appeared that his brother was elsewhere and Machia was busy with the troops. He sighed, relaxing for a moment. His eyes looked to the inventor. He felt conflicted about his idea but he finally decided to take matters into his own hands.

“Mr. Borg... how... would you feel if I.. told you I could get you out of here?” Acronix asked. Cyrus stopped everything, dropping his tools as his head rose up from the temporal apparatus. He was stunned but he managed to reply. “This... isn’t a trick is it?” He was still uncertain. Acronix couldn’t blame him. “No trick. I just...” He sighed.. “If I heard everything right then... it’s obvious that these Ninja are going to win... my brother and I will lose and all of this... would be for nothing.”

He wasn’t wrong. The Ninja were the only constant that remained in the equation of good vs evil and they always won. Cyrus looked down before sighing and turning his chair around to face him. “So... how exactly would you plan to get me out of here when there’s over a hundred Vermillion Warriors, the three commanders and your brother?” The Time Elemental took a step back. “I don’t know. I just... I want this to stop. We’re so close to victory and yet.... Krux is just getting angrier... nothing is going to bring back the brother I once knew before our days with the Alliance.” Cyrus could tell that Acronix looked so sad, so hurt over something they once had.

“Alright...” He rolled forward to him. “Anything in mind?” Acronix looked to the man in glasses, nodding. “Is there a way to enable your BorgWatch again?” Acronix asked. Cyrus was confused but he nodded. “There should be.” The younger Time Twin smiled and asked another question. “So what do I have to do?” Cyrus smiled back, a real genuine smile, and began explaining. “Alright. So what you’re going to want to do is-.”

He had listened to every detail possible that Cyrus explained. The inventor spoke in such a fashion and led his hands around the small contraption in a way that it made Acronix all giddy inside. He liked this cooperation thing happening between them. Of course he didn’t mind the accidental hand holding and closeness either. Cyrus himself was embarrassed at the closeness but Acronix was certain that deep down the inventor didn’t mind them being close either.

“Acronix please focus. We’re trying to get this done as fast as possible.” Ah yes. They were still working on the watch. Under normal circumstances, Cyrus would’ve been done in less time but with Machia and Krux coming in more often and having to hide the watch, it took longer than it should. “I’m sorry I just...” His light blue eyes looked to the former elemental. “Never mind.” He tried his best to stay focus on the task.. not on his eyes.

The watch was finished. Cyrus was happy about it and Acronix couldn’t have helped but be happy too especially if something brought a bright smile to the inventor’s face.

“I’ve seen that there was a tracking option and an alert mode in case of emergencies. I suppose this qualifies for those huh?” Acronix said. “Indeed it does.” Cyrus replied, having pressed a few buttons to activate the both of them. There was a beeping sound that went off every second, indicating a tracker.

Cyrus looked down with a sigh. “I had hoped to never see those legs again, but it seems I have no choice.” Acronix was confused but he decided not to question it. “Well whatever that means, hopefully help is on the way. Now I’m just going to get you out of this base before the Vermillion overwhelm what’s coming.” Cyrus nodded at that. “Alright. Let’s go.”

He began pushing him by the wheelchair through the base. He ran across the wooden docks, through the swamp. He was surprised to no grab any attention yet but he spoke too soon. The two vermillion commanders, Blunck and Raggmunk, were, for once, smart enough to contact Machia, and now Machia and Krux stood at the edges of the camp.

“Brother. What are you doing?” Krux asked sternly. Acronix noticeably flinched at the tone. “Nothing of consequence, I assure you. It’s just a walk.” He spoke back. “If it’s just a walk then why are you all the way almost outside the base?” He asked. “I-...” Cyrus cut in, seeing the pressure that was set on Acronix. “Krux, I believe what your brother is trying to say is-.”

“Quiet you.” He growled. “Brother, please... this is wrong.. you know that and have you kept up with the news?! It’s obvious the Ninja are always gonna win so why don’t we just stop now while we still can? Please?” The twin looked to his older brother. It looked like he got through to him but only for a few seconds.

“Brother, I demand that you put Borg back into the room to work!” Krux yelled at him. Acronix stood tall this time. “I won’t.” He spoke calmly. “Excuse me?”

“I said I won’t!” He rose his voice at him. Krux was taken aback by that but he kept his glare. “Then I’ll do it myself.” He rose his hands up to take the chair from his brother’s grip, but Acronix looked like he wasn’t having any of it. He stood before him and smacked a hand away. “Nngah!”

“Brother?” Krux was in disbelief. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He obviously hadn’t planned for this in all of his years.

“Quick. Ditch the chair and just carry me.” “What?!” Acronix looked at him with disbelief. “Trust me.” Cyrus looked up at him. The long-haired man nodded and picked him up, having kicked the chair away and into Krux’s direction. He yelled when it collided with him.

Acronix ran with a few second head start with Cyrus in his arms. Krux growled and chased after him.

The beeping quickened now before finally it became a continuous high pitched noise. Cyrus looked up and saw the contraption he’d hope to never see again.

“That’s what you mean by legs?!” Acronix was in disbelief. That’s right. It was the damned spider chair. He had it put away with other inventions of his ever since the Overlord, but his daughter, Pixal, had told him to have something in case of emergencies. He supposed he took that advice a little far and decided to have the spider chair activated in case he ever really needed it.

“Yes, that’s what I meant. Now help me in it!” He yelled, obviously panicking but he had a demanding tone in his voice. If they weren’t being chased right now, Acronix would’ve found that hot. “Yes sir.” He responded instinctively and helped Cyrus into the large machine.

He was quick to familiarize himself with every button, but had to shake off every horrible memory that came with this chair. He had to move and he had to do it now. “Come on! We’re leaving!” No response from the younger twin. Not even a single movement.

“No...” Acronix said. Borg turned around to see him. His head hung low and his voice was even lower and more serious. “I can’t go... Someone’s gotta keep my brother busy.” He wasn’t planning on- “Acronix.”

“Cyrus please.” Acronix looked back up. “I’m sorry... but you know it’s the only way.” His light blue eyes had tears while Acronix could only smile. “No...”

“Cyrus...” he placed a hand on his cheek and stood on his toes to reach his face. Cyrus had lowered the chair to be at the same level as him. “You have to go now.” The inventor shook his head but held his hand with both of his. “Not without you.” The Time Elemental kept his smile. “It’ll be okay...”

“Acronix, please I don’t-.” He was cut off by a pair of lips closing the little space between them. It was short, chaste, and sweet yet it felt special in that moment. He felt sparks flying and butterflies fluttering around even more. Acronix was surprisingly gentle especially considering his usual behavior. Cyrus couldn’t believe it. He was pretty sure others would never believe it either.

The moment ended when he pulled away. He hadn’t wanted it to end so soon. Neither of them did. Cyrus opened his eyes to see his smile once more. “You won’t lose me. I promise.” He spoke so softly, unlike how he usually boasted so loudly or yelled aggressively. He liked this new softer side of him. He wished he could see it more.

Suddenly he heard a button activate and he lurched forward with the movements of the chair. That sneaky ba- “ACRONIX!” He could only look back at the younger Time Twin who only smiled at him so softly. “NO!” His chair was in autopilot and it just kept moving forward without his command.

He watched as the camp was further and further away and Acronix was getting surrounded by Vermillion Warriors with his brother leading the commanders until he could no longer even see the former Elemental anymore.

“No...” Cyrus’s eyes became foggy and he felt tears slip down his cheeks while the spider chair simply ran away from the camp and towards the city where it came from.

Krux looked so angry. “Of all the times for you to finally grow a spine, it had to be this!”

Acronix simply replied. “Yes. It did.”

“Acronix...” He stood up at his name. He never heard his brother speak it unless it was a serious matter. He knew he didn’t mess up for once, but he got himself into serious trouble this time.

Krux just approached him while Machia looked amused at this as if she already knew what was going to happen. Oh he most definitely got himself into some serious trouble this time.

Season 3, Episode 1 - The Surge

Ah, good old S3. The one that I continually bring up as the first season Zane dies in, because a) the writers seem to love killing him, b) can the writers not do that that is incredibly rude

Well, that happens in the finale. I’ll let my dread build up for the occasion, then. Until then, we’ve got a good season to get through.

[22:10] oh what the hell!!! new intro!!!

[21:49] that fucking slaps

[21:39] The ultimate battle… where Lloyd got eaten by a dragon and then had the magical energy dragon he was riding explode the dragon he was eaten by.

[21:19] Huh. Looks like the “wait this is lego who gave them the right to be this dramatic” part of me finally kicked in. But man, that’s gotta suck for them to rebuild.

[21:09] Oh hi, dude in a wheelchair. That looks a bit… precarious.

[20:59] Wait, why New Ninjago City? That New ____ bit applies generally when it’s a seperate city or location, but named after an older city or location, like New York, New Mexico, New Zealand (Zeeland), etc. If you’re just rebuilding, it doesn’t make sense to add that, as it’s still the same city. Ninjago City was badly damaged by the earthquakes, but it wasn’t to the point of having to start completely over, right?

[20:57] Hovercar! --- wait. What’s the timespan for this?

[20:57] Huh. The ninja can move on with their lives for now, at least.

[20:42] Okay, we’re now watching Jay sneak up on somebody singing in the shower.

[20:39] Hi, Kai!

[20:35] Huh? What’s going on?

[20:33] Kai’s a teacher! Neat. And you can have hovercars, but god forbid we use a whiteboard.

[20:26] Zane and Cole are also teachers! And… and what do you mean on the friiiiiehwHY IS HE GLITCHING OUT

[20:18] Jeez! Not cool, kids!

...god i want to see a tacky poster explaining to the kids not to remote control the teachers please and thank you

[20:13] Ah. The wonders of education.

[20:03] I am going to fight a kid again.

[19:55] Oh! Sensei Wu took over Darkly’s!

[19:51] Jay’s a teacher too! I guess that just leaves Lloyd, Nya and Garmadon as characters who’d be majorly impacted by the end of the Age Of Ninja unaccounted for. I’m assuming Misako’s off doing research or something.

[19:57] your fave is problematic: cole steals his co-workers’ food from the fridge

[19:41] Oi. Where can I get that giant tea making machine?

But like… yeah. The ninja excl. Lloyd are like… adults. Maybe acting a bit like teens from time to time because kids show but… they’re adults with jobs and crap. That’s a very weird thought.

[19:33] Man, I love me them group dynamics

[19:22] Well, Lloyd’s doing a bit of award receiving, it seems.

[19:15] Nya’s a teacher too! So I guess that leaves Garmadon unaccounted for.

[19:06] Huh. That’s… not a good sign for Jaya this season. I’m a fan of Jaya so that’s, I dunno. Disappointing.

[19:00] Man, they’re either still in the Constant Threat mindset or are just really desperate to let loose on SOMETHING. Considering the kids they have to teach… it could be either.

[18:48] Aaaw! Jay’s geeking out about Borg Industries.

[18:45] Also the camera’s… really spinning. Really wants me to get that vertigo experience.

[18:42] Zane just snapped and kicked Jay in the leg. DJdfngjd

[18:34] Oh, look at you, Kai. Being all… cynical. I mean, you don’t really have a lot of past to go off of, y’know? The world was only made like… three generations ago. And also somehow a few thousand years ago…. What even is this timeline?

[18:30] Welp.

[18:24] Also, if you took the field trip on a dragon you do run into a lot of safety risks.

[18:20] god he’s desperately trying to be One Of The Kids… Cole this is the one time you’re not an eternal mood but I forgive you

[18:16] Also, Nya in the bg smiling at first but then just… dying inside

[18:15] oof

[18:07] But like… huh. I’m guessing it’s been a while since the events of S2. Logically in real life it’d be up to maybe a decade between seasons, but more likely it’d be a year or two at most, which is still a while.

[17:49] Man. NNC looks pretty cool.

[17:31] Well, I’m sorry sir, we can’t all have hovercars!

[17:29] Wait! It’s the postie. Man, that guy’s seen some crap.

[17:20] Cole remains just… frighteningly buff. I’m scared that if I shook his hand it’d break mine.

[17:09] (Wu) “Besides, it’s not like we can’t find where we’re going.” YOU SURE? Because I’ve gotten lost sometimes trying to find certain entertainment slash casino slash hotel complexes that will remain unnamed and it takes up like half of the Yarra in the city

[17:07] Okay, nevermind. That’s definitely like a beacon among the hills.

[17:04] Like… it’s very tall.

[16:59] ouch

[16:54] PIXAL???? I’VE HEARD OF YOU AND I LOVE YOU ALREADY

[16:42] Oh my god her voice is so relaxing though??? Like robotic, certainly, but not at all like jarring? Is that a weird thing to say?

[16:36] (Pixal) “What does ‘Zane’ stand for?” That’s just his name, m’am

[16:33] I mean, I hear Pixane is a thing that happens here? And I can understand the relationship part being rushed (god that is gonna be painful huh) but if I see Zane having a crush on Pixal I don’t really care. I don’t like how crushes usually somehow mean We’re Gonna Hook Up Soon but to be honest I don’t even have any form of romantic attraction, am human, and am having a bit of a crush on Pixal right now. He can do whatever, man.

[16:25] Welp! But goddammit, if it sets off my romantic repulsion I’m going to fight my brain, it’s! in! his! rights! to! crush! on! Pixal! Goddammit brain let me have fun here

[16:20] wait wait wait I just… man only in Lego can Pixal get away with having half her chest exposed.

[16:12] Okay I realise what I just said about Zane having a crush on Pixal but c’mon this is getting creepy what she’s on about now. NNC is reading more and more like a dystopia by the second when you think about it. Everything is connected. It’s being fed to Borg Industries. If BI isn’t doing good then what the hell would this mean?

[16:05] I- I. I mean, what DOES power him?

[15:36] WaaaAIIIIT. THIS ISN’T GOOD.

[15:16] Wait. Is this licensed? Also fucking… video games…

[15:05] “They have a Perfect Match console!” nsddhgiufsjd like that one Choices game? Also I heard we’re having a love triangle somewhere but this soon? What the hell, writers?

[15:00] UHHHH WHAT THE HELL. GODDAMMIT WE ARE NOT DOING SOME SORT OF AUTOMATED SOULMATE CRAP GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE.

[14:54] THIS IS CREEPY AS HELL… IS THIS SUPPOSED TO ALL BE *GOOD?*

[14:53] No. No, we are NOT doing this.

[14:50] I am going… to go commit... murder. None of you can stop me.

I am going to die before I get through this episode, jesus christ, let’s continue,

[14:49] PLEASE. MAKE IT STOP.

[14:47] WHHHHHY!!!!!

Usually I avoid anything with any romance in it like the plague (which is 99% of YA fiction aka stuff in my demographic) let alone LOVE TRIANGLES and now I’m seeing why Terrible Writing Advice has it as a running gag! If you’re not familiar with the channel, it’s exactly as labelled. It’s an author giving you advice on what NOT TO DO as stuff to do (but blatantly the first category). A running gag is that The Love Triangle Is Awful Author JP Fixall, which indicates how much the real JP hates them.

[14:44] (everyone gasps almost horrified at the results) THAT’S HOW I’VE BEEN FEELING FOR THE PAST HALF AN HOUR YOU GOOF! THIS IS A TEN SECOND SEQUENCE.

[14:42] WeLPPP WE HAVE TO DO THIS SHIT THEN

[14:34] Hey, Mr. Borg! So about that matchmaking machine you have in the video game floor downstairs… can we talk about that?

[14:32] Oh my god, I can’t even enjoy the episode because of the stupid love triangle I’m dreading.

[14:22] djdjdjd he really had to call out his parents for naming him that

[14:20] Why are you all acting so shocked? That looks cool as shit.

[14:07] UMMMMMM????? I’M SORRY WHAT

[14:01] Holy shit, um… they just killed him. They killed Zane’s dad between seasons, jesus christ.

[13:38] Man, but like. Huh.

[13:27] (Cyrus) “I’m glad it’s just you four.” UHHH

[13:15] It’s… a statue?

[13:11] (Kai) “Oh wow. It’s a statue. Of yourself.” I’m telling you that!

[13:04] UHHHH CYRUS? CYRUS YOU’RE JUST GONNA WHISPER IN KAI’S EAR ABOUT HOW HE NEEDS TO PROTECT THE OTHER NINJA FOR NINJAGO’S SAKE AND JUST… LEAVE IT THERE

[13:01] Oh, well, “them”, but I assumed it was the ninja based on context. Whatever it is.

[12:53] What the fuck is going on?

[12:22] Wait, since when did Kai hate technology? Was that something else from the pilot episodes? And… whelp, it’s broken.

[12:15] Ooooh. This isn’t good.

[11:53] Whelp! Time to protect them blades!

[11:49] OUCH

[11:19] And this is why you don’t build over where the Overlord was defeated, presumably. It curses the damn place.

[11:01] Man… those are some angry machinery.

[10:57] JESUS CHRIST THEM TOO??? PIXAL??? GUYS YOU’VE GOT KIDS WITH YOU

[10:23] Christ, why were they even allowed in there? This is a massive WorkSafe violation.

[10:13] God, I love the new technology based aesthetics we’re getting here though. I will confess, I love me them tech. I don’t really have the brains for it, but I wouldn’t deny it being cool as shit.

[10:10] Well! Let’s do this!

[10:06] Also, as always, the soundtrack slaps.

[9:51] And the music’s been updated to fit the technology theme of the season! In the previous two seasons, we got a lot of the classic Cinematic Orchestra (probably not the name but still). Now we’re doing a more techno beat… kind of thing

[9:48] (Zane) “It’s not sharp! Why even call it a blAde?”

[9:37] And thus continues the long tradition of the ninja almost falling to their deaths.

[9:29] Ow.

[9:27] Man, you really should find a stop to your fall soon.

[9:23] Conveniently placed … what do you call em

[9:16] Well!!!

[9:05] The Overlord’s back.

[8:52] Oh. Oh no.

[8:43] (laughs nervously) what the fuck?

[8:31] Man, this is really just going downhill. I knew there was something severely off with NNC!

[8:26] thROw mE!

[8:17] HELL YEAH!!!

[8:10] Oh! Hell yeah! Vehicles!

[7:47] Welp!

[7:28] Pixal what the hell

[6:47] Hell yeah!!!! Also, goddammit I CALLED IT NNC WAS REALLY OFF

[6:26] Man! You’re really ready to go kick some ass, huh? I literally cannot blame you.

[5:25] Wow! This is actually really wild and I’m really into it.

[4:47] So! New vehicles! Mainly to sell merch but man is this a fun way of doing it!

[4:10] god i love this show!

[3:30] uhhh what just happened

[3:26] Lloyd! thank you!

[3:20] And now they’re group hugging him!

[3:16] Shiiit. That goddamn Overlord.

[2:42] Alright! Let’s see what happens now!

[1:43] Oh!!! I guess the technoblades are with the ninja! This was just a false flag.

[1:30] OOOOH. IT WASN’T.

[0:52] god like… to Lloyd, all of the other ninja are the Dad Friend like… stop collecting dads Lloyd. you’ve got too many. put a few back.

[0:49] Oh god. Cyrus.

[0:38] OH NO

[0:26] Kids show! Now with 80% more body horror and 70% more useless romantic subplots!
